My little brother is still crushed that my Dad wouldn't let him have a My Buddy doll when he was young. Mom bought him one for his birthday like he wanted, but Dad made her return it.
He did at least get to have a pound puppy.

One of my favorite books when I was a kid. My mom read it to me all the time. Originally Posted by malkin

I love that book.
The marine's My Buddy is still lying on top of his bed in my house. Both of my boys had dolls, including the anatomically correct one we got for the older one, so he could have a baby when I had a baby. I had to drive 20 miles, to FAO Shwartz, on a 112 degree day to buy that doll!

I just bought it for my sister's daughter - who's totally in a disney princess phase and has been for a couple of years. Originally Posted by limewave
